Hi, I lived at the Damien John Kelly House for two years. I was an alcoholic, for an alcohol addiction. Um, when I moved to Wavertree I was obviously, back then you don't really get a feel for the place or see much as, you know, but what I did notice - I've always grown up in kind of, villages, well, in small villages in Scotland, and I did get that feel straight away there. Um, when I was in the house, I passed my cycling mechanics course, so, um I decided to stay in Wavertree, um, when I moved on from the house, feeling, because I now work at the University of Liverpool and also at Greenbank, um, where the students are housed, um, so it's it's a great commute for me either way. When my boys come, um, I have two sons, and , and they come and see me quite often, so it's just a very safe place, you know there's loads to do with them as well, you've got Sefton Park, the Mystery, Princes Park all within an easy walking distance. The village feel, I suppose, I think it's all the independent shops. You know, there's Fozia’s on, um, High Street for food, I enjoy going in there. We used to go in there when I was in the house also, so I found out about that place. I love coffee, so I go t- you know, I'm always in Bean There, it’s honestly the best coffee I’ve ever had, that place, I go to Nomad, Fozia, um, and Leaf – any shops along there, I love Smithdown Road. Um, I did, when I was in the house, I did a fishing club as well, and, there’s a-there’s a place called Bob’s Tackle on Smithdown Road and that kinda got me with the community feeling. I was taking out fishing and went in to buy some bits and he just, he donated them, nets, all sorts, so I was really blown away with that. But it was an easy choice for me then, to think “Oh, this is where I wanna be, I wanna you know, kinda, build my future in this area” Yeah, it’s just probably the best decision I’ve ever made to stay in Wavertree and… yeah, I just need to cut back on my coffee intake, and, um, I’ve probably But, yeah, I can't speak highly enough of the place.
